The report published tonight that Sir

British regulars if necessary, has caused
considerable excitement. Though the idea
that he ever made such a statement is dis

Miss Behrens is member of very wealthy Hebrew family in Manchester. and will probably receive large lesacies from time to time in event of her surviving some of her elder relatives Lord Cairns was remark ;bly cool during the marriage ceremony, and ignored the not too covertly made ex- pressions concerning his previous matri- monial attempts with commendable grace. The couple will spend their honeymoon at Cairo.
 The trial of Dan Doherty for the murder of Capt. Graham began yesterday. The newspapers are devoting a great deal of space to the case, but thus far there is noth- ing to be found in the columns of verbatim testimony they publish promising Dohertys conviction. The prisoner made powerful plea, accompanied by an exhaustive state ment, in favor of his contention that the shooting was accidental. A verdict is ex- pected to- day.
 The proposition made by MT. O'Brien, counsel for Callan and Harkins, the alleged dynamiters, that the substance seized on the premises occupied by the former and claimed to be dynamite be experimented with to test its genuineness, astounds the authori- ties It is hardly possible, however, that they can refuss to do this, and it seems very strange that they have not already done so. If the test is made and the substance fails to explode the case against the prisoners of course falls to the ground.

Dead Nellie SOuthwick.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.--The body of Nellie Southwick lay in a back room at Underta- ker Hannah's, 79 Greenwich avenue, all day yesterday, and a large number of people went to see the remains. The majority of them were women who said they had known her when she was dressmaker or since she began to live with Montgomery as his wife. Persons living at 255 West Twenty. first street said they had always known her as a quiet. unassuming woman, and could not understand any motive for her suicide. No arrangements have been made as yet for the funeral Montgomery especially requested that it be deferred until after the inquest, which will be held tc-day. He wants to bury her himself, and expects to bo released as soon as the coroner's jury has rendered it's verdict. The sister of the dead woman did not go to the undertaker's yesterday.

The Wheels of Justice StOpped.

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-Business in the United States courts was practically suspended yes terday owing to the fact that there is no United States marshal Marshal Banks' term of office ended on the 18th, and as his successor has not been appointed and no temporary appointment made, the office is vacant. The jurors have been excused for a week from the United States district court. Judge Gray has the power to make a temporary appointment of a marshal, and a telegram has been sent him at Washing ton asking him to do so until Gen. Banks successor is named. Judge Gray, of the United States supreme court, late yesterday afternoon appointed Gen. Banks United States marshal to serve until his successor is appointed by the president. The work of the courts can now go on as usual.

 ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 20-Gen. George A. Sheridan lectured on "Ingersoll" before a cultured audience in this city last evening. After speaking of Col. Ingersolps good qualities as a man he said: s'No one has ever spoken on religion with such great elo- Guence and so little knowledge of his sub- ject. have always wondered what to ad- mire most-the aggressive force with which he attacks Christianity when no one is op- posing him, or the prudence and discretion with which he draws himself from public notice when an opponent appears. Infidels always tear down; they never build up. Ingersoll proposes to sweep God out of the universe which he has founded. Ingratitude, thy name is Ingersolll
 ''This country is but grand poem of Christianity. A system out of which such grand results come is worthy of kindlier treatment at the hands of my fippant friend. He says he knows nothing about God. Then why does he talk about him Ingersoll is mad from the top of his intellec- tual dome to the soles of h1s infidel feet be- cause the majority choose to disagree with him. Ingersoll says he can write a better book than the Bible. One of these days he will wrap the mantle of his conceit about him and die calm in that belief. What do you think of him who picks up the spear of the Roman centurion, plunges it afresh into thu side of divine love and shouts, Rejoice with me, for have slain the ChristP Not. withstanding the assaults of infdel and pa gan, Christianity echoes the same strains that have rung through all the ages, and will ring until man shall have learned better the lesson of the cross"

Railroad Employees on Strike.

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 20.-A strike was in- augurated among the yard employees of the Pan Handle railroad here yesterday in con- sequence of the refusal of the company to accede to the demand for an increase of wages from S1.90 to $25 A locomotive whistle was the signal to quit work, and at 10 o'clock shrill blast from Baltimore and Ohio yard engine, answered by a dozen others, called the men together in small groups to the number of sixty. Then they began trying to have other crews go out. A Little Miami train was cut several times, but the crew stood firm, made the connec tion each time, and the train at last pro- ceeded. They were joined by a number of tough characters and moved from yard to yard, compelling men to quit work. Most ot them did when so ordered to avoid trouble, but few of them joined the strikers. No demonstrations have as yet been made.
